I purchased the 3/16" X 10tpi reg blade and am very pleased with it. The cuts leave a smooth edge a even on tight turns. Cutting is fast and effortless with little or no wandering.

Once I set the blade up correctly I was able to resaw through 5" purpleheart and bloodwood. Both very hard wood. I do not have anything to compare it to but I was happy.

Used the blades to resaw 3/4" X 4" cedar to make siding for my neighbor. The job was done quickly with accuracy and in addition saved $ instead of purchasing the siding in store. Blade was used on Powermatic 14" bandsaw.

Have been using this blade on my Jet Bandsaw to resaw oak into 5/16" and 9/16" boards for a side board I'm building. This blade is excellent with little to no wandering. Cuts like a hot knife through butter. One pass of the boards through the planner is all it takes to clean them up.

I am new to "resawing". I have always wanted to save wood by splitting my rought cut boards to 1/2" for certain projects. I recently was able to purchase a 14" Delta Bandsaw (used) and tried this blade. WOW! The 5/4" x 6" x 8' rough cut board is now two finished 1/2" (actual)x 6" x 8' boards.

I have used Olson All Pro blades for over 12 years on a
14" Jet Bandsaw. They stay sharp and last longer than any of the other major brand blades that I have tried and produce nice cuts.

The Olson blades are a fine quality product. Super sharp and precise. Better yet, they are made in America!

I ordered and used the 1/2" All Pro to re-saw used Red Oak hardwood flooring. It did an excellent job with little to no drifting.

The Olson blade put [others] blades to shame. Have gotten great results with the blade.

I have been using otc band saw blades and finally got disgusted and when I upgraded my Delta 14 inch with a riser I knew I had to get a better blade and the Olson was an excellent choice as my bandsaw now cuts thru thick turning blanks like they are butter.
As always the "STUFF" I order from Rockler is always good quality and works.

This Olson All Pro Bandsaw Blade compares very poorly with [others] that I normally buy. It cuts just barely better than the old one I replaced. I am not satisfied with this product at all. I'll go back and never order one of these blades again.

It is a good blade, I just had to stone it in the back and over the welding joint, because of the noise was doing. Otherwise it is a good transition if you want to avoid going to a 3/4 blade for a 14" bandsaw.

Have used Olson band saw blades in the past with no problems. However, this time I had a problem with aligning it and therfore couldn't use it. No problems with aligning any other blade.

I was a little disappointed. It leaves a lot of saw marks which require more sanding than other blades. It is very sharp and cuts agressively.

I purchased the blade for cutting turning blanks. The first one I tried cutting with the Accuride circle guide was not successful. It cut fine until I got into the circle cutting then it bound up from wandering and binding. I was cutting ~5" radius. Perhaps this is too wide a blade 1/2"??? in about 5" thick somewhat wet red oak. I also used the blade for resawing some of the slabes from the same red oak without any problems, infact good performance. It is just the circle cutting which should have worked according to the guideline on the box.

I have been impressed with the quality of cuts received with this blade and at half the price of the blade I was previously using (Blade Slicer).
